Learstang Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Was it HPH that released a Gigant in 1/48th scale? Now there's a giant diorama waiting to be done - the Zwilling about to tow the Gigant into the air.

And HpH did a Gigant in 1/32nd scale. Then I guess Revell just need to release their 1/32nd He-111 as a Zwilling. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCZ Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Zwilling was huuge aircraft in 1/72, in quarter scale was big beast - and in 1/32 have gigantic wingspan. I lookin´ for Hasegawa Zwilling in 1/72, but their pricing was awful... So i wait for ICM 1/48 kit. I don´t think a Revell realised their He-111 as Zwilling - yup, they can make a few new parts - maybe in future as L.E. ? It is visual attractive and unusual aircraft, but still a glider tug with really big wingspan. Maybe exist a conversion set.... I don´t know...

Harold55 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I looked at one time for conversions for Revell's 1/48 He-111 into a Zwilling. The two kit could be bought cheap enough but the conversion itself was very expensive so I dropped the idea. I don't imagine this will be much more (maybe a bit less) than twice the cost of one of their twin engine versions. If that is the case it will be very doable. And every once and a while their kits are on sale somewhere which will help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmaruTG Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Great news I only hope they upgrade the nose machine gun blister, which is still incorrect (too bulged) in their H-16/22 release. Amaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Whats the wingspan in 1/48 ? Thats got to be a huge kit when its built up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phas3e Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I hope the centre section is reinforced otherwise moving it after its built will be bravery test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok went and investigated. I found a listing of 35.4 meters or 115.05’. Now 115.05 ➗ by 4 equals roughly 28 & 3/4” wingspan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 This is excellent, not that I´d need or want one, but it makes desiring the 1:48 B-17 sound more rationable - its wingspan is about three inches shorter 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you can display a small model between the fuselages No brainer Zwilling AND a B-17 or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
